Indian Scout

Boldly etched on
the sunset sky,
An Indian Scout on frozen horse!
He gazes across
the years at us
. . .
His tribe is gone, yet no remorse.

In naked flesh,
with sinews
lithe,
His comely legs his horse bestride;
Pride of his
race, pride of
the West,
And time stands still . . .with him we
ride.

--Edgar Linton.

Matoluta Sanctuary will be hosting a Masau Dance on August 8th from 4PM - 8PM SLT to raise awareness about and to celebrate the Native American culture. A Masau dance is a Cheyenne tradition which goes back to the time when the Cheyenne came into the black hills or, what is known as the 'badlands'. A Masau dance is represented by animals and animal people through dance so this event should be a lot of fun. Native American attire is required for this party for this group only party and this outfit that Sem is wearing (Shh, don't tell him I was sneakily taking pics of him!) is available for sale at Harm's Way at a special promo price for this event so if you're interested in going, be sure to check it out!
